Subsidy program boosts care for Gansu seniors

Gansu province has launched a monthly elderly care service consumption subsidy program for residents aged 60 and over who have been assessed as moderately, severely or completely disabled, local authorities said.

Initiated by the Department of Gansu Provincial Civil Affairs, the program began in January and will run for 12 consecutive months, with the current phase scheduled to conclude on Dec 31. Eligible seniors living in Gansu, regardless of their household registration, are entitled to receive electronic consumption vouchers each month, provided that the purchased care services are delivered within the province.
